35 No. IV.—To a fast left-handed bowler (round-arm). 1 . Bowler. S. 5. S. Strikers, Point. 9. Cover-point (forward) 2. Wicket-keeper. <). Long-slip. 10. Mid-off. 3. Long-stop. 7. Third-man. 11. Mid-on. 4. Short-slip. 8 . Cover-point. 12. Short-leg. 13. Long-leg. U. U. Umpires. To a fast left-handed bowler, as Mycroft or Morley, a long-leg is a rarity. Consequently he may be transplanted to the slips as third-man (No. 7), or in case of a good on-hitter to No. 12, as short-leg just in front of the umpire. Fast left-hand bowlers often require a leg rather sharp, as 13. Nos. 12 and 7 must be placed at [discretion. If required at short-leg, No. 7 should be placed more behind point, and No. 0 rather more square; but for the mere placing of the field at the start the positions in the diagram are preferable, with No. 7 behind point, instead of at 12, keeping 11 well round towards the umpire at striker’s end. If, on the other hand, the oif-side is the strong point of the batsman, Nos. 13 and 11 will be enough on the on-side. No. o (point) should be in a line with the wicket, and not with the batsman, lor this bowling.
